First I am so glad to have found this forum. Thanks everyone for sharing their stories, this helps. My story, I did 23&me almost 10 years ago and didn't even consider back then that I could find my bsister. But then last July I get a notification that they found my younger sister. Seeing that 51% match is still shocking to consider. I guess I am so cautious to fully believe this for fear of it not being true, and then the next fear is how do we bond and is this something she wants to do? We tried talking but I felt like I was doing all the outreach. She was very sweet via video call and I did feel like we hit it off well. But I am afraid to take it further or even how to go about doing that.... None of my friends can relate since they all have siblings or idk any adopted friends so it's hard to get advice from someone who could relate. I probably will reach out again for another talk, but I just worry so much about what to say to her or how to take the next steps or will I scare her away... But having a sister is a dream of mine, so with time I hope to continue to connect with her. I'm only 29 and she is a tad younger so I am glad at least we found each other sooner than later. Sending good thoughts to all those adoptees. It's an interesting road we go down.
